[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2430705, member: 61747"] So you are comparing a short action round with a long action round and much more capacity. Generally the WM has more velocity but yes it is less efficient. Meaning the gain for powder burned isn't that great, but still if just looking for velocity the WM should beat it. Now, the twist, a 6.5 PRC in a short action and short barrel is a legit set up that most of the longer cartridges struggle to match it grain for grain. If you are fine with LA and long barrel the 6.5-06, 6.5x284, and 264 are all good options. For me, my PRC's are wicked good in SA and short barrel. [/QUOTE]
